Computers connected to the network (Internet) are either servers or clients, and they
communicate with each other through networking protocols. The clients send requests to
the servers, and the servers respond immediately with the required data.
The server stores the files and information in the form of websites. A website is a collection
of web pages. A web page is a document that contains text, graphics, videos, audio, and
links to other pages. Every web page of a website has a unique address called the Uniform
Resource Locator (URL). This URL allows us to access any web page from anywhere in the
world. Have you ever wondered how these web pages are created? HTML is the most widely
used language to design web pages.
HTML
HTML stands for Hypertext Markup Language. It is a markup language that describes
the structure of a web page. It allows us to create web pages that contain paragraphs,
headings, links and block quotes. The output of HTML web pages is same on any type
of computer and on any operating system, e.g., MacOS, Windows, etc. HTML5 was
issued/released as a W3C Recommendation in 2014.
